I have a dry/naked (don't have a landline phone but goes through the phone jack) DSL through AT&T and I have the lowest speed, pay $20/month, use my wireless router and have NO problems at home. In the 3.5 years I have had it, it has gone out only twice. I highly recommend it

I download music mostly...song on itunes takes about a minute at the most. I haven't streamed any full-length movies yet. My connection is a 768 Kbps. The highest, which is 6 Mbps is less than $10 more/month...I am cheap. Right now I could get 6 Mbps services for $24.95/month for the first year if I was a new customer. There aren't a bunch of taxes on it like you get with cell/cable services. The price they say it is a month is the price you pay. AT&T has discount for the first year and then jacks it up after the year about $5-10/month. Still MUCH cheaper than internet through the cable company here and much more reliable. Now, AT&T is the local landline phone service here, so I don't know if that is why we have this service. If your landline phone provider is Verizon they have similar dry DSL.

Latency means the length of time that it takes for a single packet to go from your computer to a destination and then back again. The lower the latency, the fast and more stable a network. The higher the latency, the more packets that are dropped and the more unstable a network.

Certainly (connections mean more computers, not multiple websites accesses) but sometimes latency can occur without the extra connections.
